Etsy.com, Black Apple and Raveling

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006 Posted in Art | No Comments »

I must be on an art kick. Today I discovered Etsy.com, a sort of online store/eBay for the handmade hipster crowd. The stuff on there is gorgeous and all of it handmade. I've especially enjoyed the Black Apple store, though ...

One Thousand Paintings

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006 Posted in Art | 4 Comments »

This has to be the funkiest, weirdest, coolest idea: One Thousand Paintings. The guy made 1,000 individual, unique paintings all featuring a different number, 1-1,000. They're all painted in the same style, in the same font, just a different number on ...

Developing Good Habits

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006 Posted in Daily Grind | No Comments »

I have pretty poor habits. Good intentions, but poor habits. I used to read 50 books a year. So far this year I've read seven. Three were in the last week. So I haven't been doing well with the reading fix, ...

For an upcoming assignment I had to go see the new Lindsay Lohan movie, Just My Luck. And I think that sentence works equally well with or without the italics.

Time to Upgrade My Computer

Saturday, May 13th, 2006 Posted in Technology | No Comments »

More than two years ago I switched from PC to Mac (yes, I'm still loving it) and I think it may be time to upgrade my system. Actually it was time five months ago, but the money wasn't there. First ...

Drunk Monkeys

Thursday, May 11th, 2006 Posted in Monkey News | No Comments »

Drunk monkeys, it seems, are a lot like drunk people. They drink more when they're alone, they like to drink after a hard day's work and they'll often drink until they fall asleep. You can't make this stuff up. Apparently ...

The Invisible Children: Night Commuters of Uganda

Friday, May 5th, 2006 Posted in War | No Comments »

Sometimes the world sucks. I'm not often reminded of it in my comfortable North American lifestyle, but every now and then you remember that running out of Pepsi isn't such a bad thing. Today it started with an interesting marketing story: ...

I am a Squidoo Master

Thursday, May 4th, 2006 Posted in Internet | No Comments »

Apparently I'm a master of the Squidoo lensmasters. Look out! As of today, out of 25,000+ lenses... I'm ranked 17th on the top 100 lensmasters list. My lens for Church Marketing Sucks is ranked 20th on the top 100 by lensrank list. The same ...
